I finally got to play this and overall quite enjoyed it!
I must admit that I don't fully understand the huge hype about it, because I found some parts to be pretty underwhelming, sometimes even boring (especially the first few chapters that felt slow) but I still got obsessed with the story once it got action-rich/epic and complex. I really like the clever plot with interesting and creative twists! Also the art is very pretty and I love the music and atmosphere.
I guess a thing that somewhat irritates me are the characters, I feel like ALL of them were purposely made to be incredibly insufferable lol. I do like some of them, yet despite that there's still always some personality trait that infuriates me about them and I genuinely couldn't truly care about anyone except Suzuha lmao. It didn't change my opinion on the game as a whole but I believe the story might've impacted me more if I enjoyed the writing of the characters.
Otherwise I'm very satisfied with this experience and especially love the concept and time-travel elements!

This vn intrigued me right after discovering it and I must say that it has a really interesting concept and a fun and chaotic execution!
Firstly, the production is very high quality, the art is wonderful (so unfortunate that it's impossible to take Steam screenshots), the music & voice-acting are great and especially the action/fight scenes are very impressively executed, it actually felt like watching an anime at times. I got quickly immersed by the well thought-out world-building inspired by christian mythology and also the fun characters. I felt pretty captivated by most of the story and quite liked the combination of light-hearted comedy with overly edgy battles and gruesome aspects of the lore.
Though I must admit that I kind of perceived the prologue to be one of the game's strongest parts and hoped that there would be more of that type of dark/cruel atmospheric horror-mystery stuff. Otherwise I still enjoyed all routes and how chaotic and action-filled the story is, despite my usual tendency to more realistic genres.
Some of the writing (such as the romance parts) feels a bit stiff/ doesn't have enough build-up and the plot appears to have some inconsistency but besides that I found it to be quite enjoyable and entertaining overall. This game honestly gives me pretty nostalgic vibes and I love it for it lol.

I absolutely adore this game!
The whole design is incredible, the visuals and soundtrack create such an impressive atmosphere. I also love the gameplay since the puzzles and monster confrontations are fun and clever yet not frustrating, in my opinion. I'm additionally quite content with the pacing as I didn't perceive it to be rushed despite its rather short length, the only thing that makes me sad is the fact that I can't enjoy the game for longer lol.
Moreover I enjoyed how the first two chapters are fully horror and terrifying, meanwhile the second half is mainly sad and upsetting story-wise, yet still manages to keep up with the disturbing atmosphere. In my opinion the narrative is quite well done, which made me very invested in the story. I really enjoyed the way how several dark topics got combined into one tragedy and also how impactful the presentation of everything is. I initially didn't expect myself to end up so hyped and emotional while playing this lol.

This game turned out to be so much more than I initially expected! <3
I got immediately obsessed with the visual novel part and am only disappointed by how short it is since I loved it so much. The atmosphere, visuals and music are just immaculate, I especially adore those short video sections. I must admit that the first Rpg element (that is still part of the main story) kind of confused me at first but I eventually realized what to do and everything went smoothly from then on.

At first I honestly thought that the afterstory/epilogue wouldn't add more to the experience but I was SO wrong. I ended up spending the majority of my playtime exploring it. There's plenty to discover and it was fun to do the minigames, complete ridiculous tasks, find all achievements, etc. I really like that surreal and somewhat uncanny but at the same time lighthearted vibe of it, also the npcs are amazing! However what actually made me gasp was THE ending, I guess it might be easy to predict but after spending hours in that wholesome setting, it nearly blew me away lmao (and made me sad).

This game is honestly the best marketing I've seen so far lol, not only does it a great job at promoting music (not even just the dev's but at the same time of 100 other artists as well) but it also offers a peak gaming experience with a captivating story and fun gameplay. Pretty solid game overall!

This game has a really fun concept and I enjoyed the experience a lot, yet since the length and depth of the story have rather little to offer, I can only recommend this with a discount. The concept is awesome and unique: I love the combination of a burlesque setting with a murder mystery AND supernatural powers on top of that. The gameplay is a visual novel combined with little sections of point&click minigames, so it's pretty relaxing.
I love the whole aesthetic and atmosphere of the game, the soundtrack and art are beautiful! The story is intriguing and I liked the mindreading function. Also the writing is entertaining and with a bunch of funny moments. As previously stated, my only issue with it is the short length which makes the story feel more superficial and less complex. I believe it would've been amazing to have more content to add depth to the story and have more conversations, maybe more game mechanics, etc. It additionally would've been great if the interactive aspects would perhaps lead to different story branches or events.
Besides that I still think that the game is very well done and worth buying during sale!

I was really excited to play this vn and it definitely didn't disappoint! There are so many things I love about this game, though because of that I'm even more frustrated by its negative aspects since I keep imagining how epic it would've been without them lol.
Overall I'm really impressed by the production, the art is beautiful (though I was kind of hoping for more CG variety) and the soundtrack is insanely good! The game's whole design is just very aesthetically pleasing to me. The plot is interesting and I was highly invested in the story, the whole "selection system" is quite intriguing and I loved whenever there were action moments.
I love the fun characters and enjoyed finding out more about them throughout the story, but I often hated what was done to them eventually, like WHY DID HALF OF THE CAST WILLINGLY SACRIFICE THEMSELVES?. I found it weird that some of them had a complete mind-switch within a few weeks, which made the later "rounds" of the selection way less intense than I was hoping for. Otherwise something I perceive to be rather neutral are the pespective changes: on one hand I enjoyed them for the variety and learning more about the cast but on the other hand it felt like the game started doing them too early on, which made some moments less impactful and more predictable. Besides I believe that the perspective changes didn't use their potential, since many valuable and interesting actions that could've been shown just ended up being briefly mentioned (I'm particularly talking about the badass characters who are somehow capable of nearly anything but the game just demonstrates NONE of their abilities, "connections", etc).
Now the game manages to create a nice and epic atmosphere during certain scenes but I feel like the overall atmosphere often tends to lack a sense of urgency and despair, since there are constant sudden switches between suspenseful moments and casual scenes which feels unnatural at times. Also probably the only thing I actually despised about the game is the romance... I wish it was possible to just put Rinka in a harem with Mao and Naomi, instead of forcing her in a relationship with that insufferable, childish brat Miharu....
Either way I like the different endings, they kind of have pacing issues (some are way too short, whereas others way too long) but as a whole it was nice to see different outcomes. I genuinely didn't expect the plot to end up being that complex in the true ending, some of it feels a bit "too much" but at the same time I found it fun to learn about it.
Altogether I really love the game's whole concept and was immersed in the story but the execution ended up somewhat underwhelming occasionally, despite how amazing the potential is. Still a very clever and entertaining visual novel, in my opinion!

This game is so fun! I love the creative idea and the interactive parts are very fun, especially with the random aspects. I really liked the story branches and enjoyed the investigations. It was awesome to explore a big variety of locations, collect documents and be able to make own conclusions based on discovered information. The writing is pretty good, I loved how entertaining it is (especially during the interactions with different characters) and also how it manages to create amazing atmosphere as well.
The atmosphere is just really good altogether, the intense and creepy parts are very well done. The background art and music definitely contribute a lot to the whole addicting mysterious vibe. The autosave function quite annoyed me at times, moreover I'm somewhat disappointed that the bad endings were short (in my opinion there was big potential to include more content of the monsters) but overall I'm left highly impressed and would love to play something similar!

My humor is probably broken but I found this absolutely hilarious, just like the first game :3
It's just so random and unhinged, I love it. Also the puzzles are surprisingly creative, it's funny how seemingly meaningless details actually ended up being relevant in some completely different context later on. I really enjoyed this game, the whole concept of those outrageous stories being set in literal renaissance paintings is genius and just perfectly fitting.

This game feels somewhat incomplete unfortunately, but I still loved it regardless and want more of it!

I really love the game's entire concept: the story premise is interesting and combined with certain odd events that the player encounters, I found the plot even more intriguing. The world-building is very chaotic yet captivating, especially during the first few playthroughs I just kept getting surprised over and over again. I didn't expect the events to actually be so random and even wild at times. Technically the story is pretty gloomy but gets often presented as a dark comedy sort of, due to the sarcastic writing / choice of words, which I honestly found quite entertaining. I particularly liked that I could still feel the somber atmosphere despite the lighthearted/relaxing tone of the game.

The endings are possibly even weirder than the usual events and I loved them too for that, I'm just disappointed that they're all very short and serve as open endings, which on one side makes sense lore-wise but on the other hand the lack of conclusion left me even more curious and eager for more. I guess here I was hoping to at least get more information on the setting, since the world-building was overall not detailed enough for my likings but unfortunately a lot of questions got left unanswered. However I must say that I fully adored the direction of the true ending, despite its lack of details.

The soundtrack is very pleasant and catchy, though it would've been great to have a broader variety, especially to support certain atmospheres. The art however feels very fitting to me, I love how it's beautiful and still has that "fuzzy" artstyle at the same time. It adds to the strange, blurred and uncanny vibes, in my opinion.

Now about the gameplay itself: at first it took me an embarrassingly long time to get into the game mechanics and be able to reach any ending but once I managed to recognize the patterns, it got significantly less difficult. The gameplay success highly relies on luck though, hence one mistake can instantly ruin the entire playthrough. Despite it being frustrating at times, I still found the game very addicting and couldn't bring myself to quit no matter how often I died lol.
I'm not very sure why exactly I enjoyed the game THAT much, but I think it's fun and has a great story!

This game keeps reminding me to NEVER work in customer service.
The game itself is pretty fun and relaxing, however (from my experience) it's significantly more difficult to play on a laptop compared to the mobile version, since the gameplay is more time-consuming and therefore tends to become stressful lol</3 Otherwise the gameplay is nice and satisfying, plus the story is quite funny at times. Also it's very addicting in my case XD.

I guess the game could benefit from some expansions, such as more variety in music and maybe new game modes or at least more diversity in the main gameplay in order to reduce the constant repetition, but I think it is still good & great in the current state already.
